Fr. Andrew Fetchina gave a very well-received talk about the casting out of the demons in the slave girl by St. Paul. In his talk he spoke about the importance of making a good confession, so that we can receive freedom from sin and have the strength, through Christ to accept our calling in life to serve God in whatever capacity He desires.
